Apple sold more tablets last quarter than any single OEM sold PCs, but analyst calls the comparison unfair
Computerworld - Apple sold more iPad tablets last quarter than any single PC maker sold personal computers.
The company's CEO used the opportunity to again predict that the tablet market would one day be larger than that for traditional laptop and desktop PCs.
"As I've said before, I truly believe, and many others in the company believe, that there will come a day that the tablet market is larger than the PC market," Apple CEO Tim Cook said during a Tuesday earnings call with Wall Street analysts.
According to Apple, the company sold 15.4 million iPads worldwide in 2011's final three months, more than double the number it sold in the same period a year earlier and an increase of 39% over the former record of 11.1 million, set in the third quarter of last year.
